On each of the two "Education Days" there will be nearly 7,500 school children in attendance from Summit County and Northeast Ohio. The object of each day is to create a unique, out-of-classroom educational experience for the students. Special educational events will take place throughout the game. Plus, teachers will have the option to use a supplied integrated curriculum prior to and during the event that focuses on the theme "Baseball IS Education".
